ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between the blood stasis score of coronary heart disease(CAD) and mild cognitive impairment(MCI), as well as the changes in plasma metabolic profile of blood stasis in patients with CAD combined with MCI(CADMCI) through a cross-sectional study, and further explore the impact of different degrees of blood stasis on the plasma metabolite profile of CADMCI patients. MethodsAccording to the diagnostic criteria of CAD and CAD blood stasis, patients hospitalized in Xiyuan Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences from October 2022 to October 2023 were continuously included. According to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA) scale score, the enrolled patients were divided into CADMCI blood stasis group and CAD blood stasis group. The association between blood stasis score and MCI was analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression model. The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was drawn, and the area under the curve(AUC) was calculated to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the model. According to the blood stasis score, the first 30 patients in the CADMCI blood stasis group and CAD blood stasis group were divided into mild blood stasis and severe blood stasis. Ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) was used to detect plasma metabolites in each group of patients. The differential metabolites were screened according to variable importance in the projection(VIP) value≥1, fold change(FC)<0.67 or >1.5, and P<0.05. ROC curve analysis was further used to evaluate the discriminatory efficiency of the screened differential metabolites for each group of samples. ResultsA total of 266 CAD patients were included in this study. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the CAD blood stasis score was significantly correlated with MCI[odds ratio(OR)=1.619, 95% confidence interval(CI) 1.223-2.142, P<0.001, ROC curve AUC was 0.615(95% CI 0.547-0.683, P=0.001)], indicating that the CAD blood stasis score has a certain predictive value for MCI. Plasma non-targeted metabolomics analysis showed that the main differential metabolites between CAD blood stasis and CADMCI blood stasis were lipid metabolites, among which phosphatidylcholine[20∶4(5Z, 8Z, 11Z, 14Z)/P-18∶1(11Z)] had the best discriminatory efficiency(ROC curve AUC=0.867, 95% CI 0.754-0.942). Further analysis of the differential metabolites between mild and severe blood stasis showed that lipid metabolites were also the main differential metabolites between mild and severe blood stasis. Among them, 1α,25-dihydroxy-2β-(2-hydroxyethoxy) vitamin D3 had the best efficacy in distinguishing mild and severe CAD blood stasis(AUC=0.813, 95% CI 0.649-0.951), and phosphatidylcholine 34∶2 had the best efficacy in distinguishing mild and severe CADMCI blood stasis(AUC=0.819, 95% CI 0.640-0.941). ConclusionThere is a significant correlation between CAD blood stasis score and MCI. Phosphatidylcholine metabolites play an important role in the pathogenesis of CADMCI blood stasis and severe blood stasis. The CAD blood stasis score combined with the detection of phosphatidylcholine metabolites can provide a reference for the development of early and efficient identification strategies for CADMCI.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of comprehensive intervention on bowel function, anxiety, and quality of life in hospitalized elderly patients, and to assess its safety.Methods:Sixty-four elderly inpatients with mixed-type constipation were recruited between October 2020 and January 2021 and randomly assigned to the treatment group and the control group ( n=32 in each group). The control group received oral mosapride(5 mg each time, 3 times a day) plus one aloe capsule(once a day), whereas the treatment group was provided with a comprehensive intervention including dietary and defecation-behavior guidance, abdominal massage, and psychological support, and additionally took lorazepam(0.5 mg each time, once a day) on top of the control regimen for a 4-week treatment course. Bowel efficacy was recorded at baseline, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after intervention. Anxiety was assessed with the Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA), and quality of life with the short-form 36 health survey (SF-36). Complications and adverse events were also monitored.SPSS 22.0 software was used for data analysis, and χ2 test or repeated measures ANOVA was used for comparison between the two groups. Results:After 2 and 4 weeks, the overall response rates in the treatment group were 84.37%(27/32) and 93.75%(30/32), respectively, and significantly higher than those in the control group (59.37%(19/32) and 62.50%(20/32); χ2=4.947, 9.143, both P<0.05). HAMA scores decreased from 20.50±2.11 to 14.75± 1.48 in the treatment group and from 20.13±1.60 to 17.75±1.98 in the control group ( Finteraction=18.36, P<0.001). SF-36 total scores improved from 75.82±5.11 to 89.35±5.21 in the treatment group and from 74.90±5.26 to 83.03±5.42 in the control group ( Finteraction=12.74, P<0.001). At both 2 and 4 weeks, the treatment group had lower HAMA scores and higher SF-36 scores than the control group (all P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the treatment group was lower than that in in the control group (6.25%(2/32) vs 37.50%(12/32), χ2=9.143, P<0.05). No serious adverse events occurred in either group. Conclusion:Comprehensive intervention significantly improves functional constipation in elderly inpatients, alleviates anxiety, enhances quality of life, and is well tolerated.
